ORDAC (the Oceania RDA Committee) has delivered a series of three webinars that may be of interest to anyone planning to move from Original RDA in MARC to Official RDA. 

The Hungarian translation of RDA is being developed by the Hungarian Library Institute at the National Széchényi Library since 2017. Since then, the Institute has translated the Registry, and is planning to release the full translation of the Toolkit by the end of 2026. This effort is a part of a greater transition to semantic cataloguing.

Although there is no in-person meeting of the RSC this year, we are pleased to announce that our usual outreach and training event will go ahead on Thursday 19 November at 19:00 - 21:00 UTC (There is a handy time converter here). 

Technical Team Liaison Officer Chris Holden (pictured) has submitted the final two proposals dealing with soft-deprecated terms for discussion in the Public Session of the November Meeting of the RSC. 

Observers at the RSC Public Session on 28 July may recall that the RSC approved the addition of terms for wood engraver, etc. and asked Translations Team Liaison Officer Szabolcs Dancs (pictured) to prepare a proposal to change the definition of engraver agent, etc. to make it clear that it is for intaglio techniques. 

On 13-14 July, RSC Wider Community Engagement Officer Getaneh Alemu was delighted to welcome librarians from across sub-Saharan Africa to webinars on RDA delivered by RSC Education and Orientation Officer Elisa Sze (pictured).

Mexico RDA Group: Series on RDA Concepts

El reloj de la cuenta regresiva para el RDA Toolkit Original comenzó a medianoche del 11 de mayo, hora de Hawái-Aleutianas (UTC -10). En este breve seminario web se explicará qué significa el reloj de cuenta regresiva para las instituciones de catalogación; qué pasará con el RDA Toolkit Original; y cómo realizar la transición a RDA Oficial.

The RDA Steering Committee would like to thank Karen Pierce and Fran Frenzel, the editors of Catalogue and Index, for allowing us to present articles that we hope will help those transitioning to Official RDA this year, before Original RDA is withdrawn as a live product in May 2027.
